Does burnt hair grow back?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

  1. Hair Regrowth Potential

    • Burnt hair shafts do not regrow.
    • New hair can grow if hair follicles are intact.
  2. Factors Affecting Regrowth

    • Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
    • Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
  3. Recommendations

    • Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
    • Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

Summary: New hair can grow if follicles are unharmed. Proper scalp care is essential.

I've been dealing with a fungus patch on my skin. I saw a doctor and they gave me TERBITOTAL 500 and Funzi NM cream. These seemed to help but only temporarily. I really want to completely get rid of it. Can you please advise on what I should do?

You have to use the medications as a course as advised by your doctor, usually after starting the medications the infection fades but to eliminate it you have to continue the medicines for specific time period.and hygiene practices is more important.

I'm dealing with these persistent itches and they seem to get a bit better when I use Valbet or similar antifungal creams, but the relief doesn't last. After about a week, they come back, and this has been going on for over a year now. It's really bothering me. Do you think I might be dealing with a chronic fungal infection or could it be something else? What should I do to finally get rid of it?

use upto complete subside of symptoms .

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Deriva CMS and Clear Gel. My doctor recommended Deriva CMS for my acne scars, but I'm really wondering if it will actually help reduce them. Also, what exactly is Clear Gel used for? Can you help clarify this for me?

Deriva CMS will likely help with acne scars over time by improving skin texture, reducing dark spots, and stimulating collagen production. It may not fully eliminate deep scars, but it should help improve overall appearance. Clear Gel is more suited for treating active acne and will not have much impact on reducing scars.
